What number must you add to complete the square x^-8x=39

Answer:

The number must be added to complete the square is  16

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

x^2 - 8x = 39    ------(1)

The quadratic equation is of the form ax^2  + bx + c =0

To complete the square we have to add (b/2)^2 and subtract (b/2)^2

Therefore the eq (1) becomes

here b= -8, so we have to add (8/2)^2 = 4^2 = 16

Therefore the number is 16

<u>To find x</u>

x^2 - 8x  = 39

Add 16 to both sides

x^2 - 8x +16  = 39 + 16

(x - 4)^2 = 55

x - 4 = √55

x = √55 -4

Answer:

Given equation: x^2-8x =39

when we complete the square , we take half of the value of 8 , then square it, and added to the left sides, we get;

x^2-8x+4^2 = 39 +4^2

∵8 is the value (\frac{8}{2})^2

Notice that, we add this both sides so that it maintains the equality.

then;

x^2-8x+4^2 = 39 +4^2

(x-4)^2 = 39 + 16   [ (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2 ]

Simplify:

(x-4)^2 =55

The number must be added to complete the square is, 4^2 = 16

Fynjy0 [20]

Given :

A bike path is 3 miles long. there are distance markers every path one fourth mile to the end of the path.

To Find :

Which number line correctly models this situation and the total number of distance markers.

Solution :

It is given that their are markers every 1/4 part of mile.

So, their are 4 markers per mile.

Numbers of markers in 3 miles long path is :

n = 3\times 4\\\\n = 12

Therefore, the total number of distance markers in 3 mile path is 12.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Time to land on 11ft is 4.25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 300 - 16t^2

Required

Solve for t when height is 11ft

This implies that y = 11

So: substitute 11 for y in y = 300 - 16t^2

11 = 300 - 16t^2

Collect Like Terms

16t^2 = 300 - 11

16t^2 = 289

Express both sides as squares

4^2 * t^2 = 17^2

(4t)^2 = 17^2

Take square roots of both sides (ignore negative)

4t = 17

Solve for t

t = \frac{17}{4}

t = 4.25

Hence, time to land on 11ft is 4.25 seconds
